The team leader received the heavy amount of money and was surprised and happy.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this is too much, isn't it? And ten taels of silver per person is too much."
"It's better to calculate it by household. Each household is worth ten taels of silver. This time I went back to my hometown to visit relatives. The younger one brought his wife and children with him. In our family alone, there are four people..."
"Don't we need forty taels of silver for a white-collar job?"
"This is absolutely impossible."
The team leader feels that his family is lucky enough to live in Beixi County.
Returning to the south of the Yangtze River this time, I can not only visit relatives, but also contribute a little bit to the King of Qin. Naturally, I am overjoyed.
Now that he wants to take King Qin's money for nothing, he naturally cannot overcome this hurdle in his heart.
Of course Qin Feng knew that the five hundred Beixi people present were actually only one hundred, fifty or sixty households, and it was indeed inappropriate to pay per person.
But in everything, you must follow the rules, but you must not stick to the rules. When you should be cool, you should be cool.
"Take the money and keep it according to human hair! If the king is happy, no one can care about it."
"Besides, you have traveled thousands of miles from Beixi County to help me. You should not miss out on the benefits you deserve."
Qin Feng always adheres to the principle that money that should be spent must not be saved, and money that should not be spent must not be spent.
The battlefield benefits that these five thousand taels of silver can bring are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. This is definitely a good deal.
Among the 500 Beixi people present, the least one family received was thirty taels of silver, and the most received fifty taels of silver.
What a concept!
Even for the people of Beixi County, the whole family, young and old, are all engaged in production. After one year, they only have a net balance of seventeen or eighty taels of silver.
Qin Feng is equivalent to giving them two or three years' income in one breath.
It is equivalent to... the income of ordinary people in Liang for twenty years!
There were cheers and cheers at the scene. All the people looked at Qin Feng with admiration in their eyes. They felt that being able to become the people under Qin Feng's rule was definitely a blessing that they had cultivated for several lifetimes.
Due to the long journey, Qin Feng did not let the five hundred people set off immediately. Instead, he rested in the camp and set off back to his hometown the next day.
There were many children in the team. The originally extremely serious camp was suddenly filled with children's laughter, which relaxed everyone's tense nerves a lot.
Qin Feng clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the children playing not far away, and said in a deep voice: "Although, the enemy troops are now trapped in the city."
"But we still can't let down our guard. These five hundred people will go back the same way they came. Safety and security are the top priority."
Liu Ming also had a smile on his face, staring at the innocent child with his eyes, but his mouth was not idle, and he responded to Qin Feng calmly.
The tacit understanding between the two has reached a natural level.
"Are you worried that they are too ostentatious and that thieves will covet them?"
Qin Feng shrugged: "In addition to the money I gave them, they also brought their own wealth, each household has dozens of taels of silver."
"If you go back and show off, you will win a lot of envy, but there will definitely be jealousy and resentment in some people's hearts."
"If you collude with thieves and seek wealth and death, you will lose more than you gain."
Liu Ming knew that these five hundred people were the most important propaganda tool in Qin Feng's hands and there could not be any mistakes.
He immediately nodded: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, my subordinates will send guards in royal robes to protect them secretly."
Hearing this, Qin Feng became interested: "Does Jin Yiwei have enough manpower?"
Liu Ming smiled proudly: "Now the Jinyiwei has moved southward, and more than half of the troops are active in the south."
"In the Jiangnan area alone, the total number of Jinyi Guards, Dark Armed Guards, messengers, etc. totals more than 2,000."
"Now the entire size of Jinyiwei has exceeded 10,000."
Ten thousand people may seem like a large scale, but after all, the mission of Jinyiwei is to monitor the world.
Even fifty thousand people are not many!
However, considering the special nature of the Jinyiwei, we must adhere to the principle of "preferring shortages rather than excesses" and cannot be too hasty when it comes to expanding manpower.
And because Li Xiaolan was pregnant, Qin Feng was focused on dealing with the war in the south.
Li Qiye has also abdicated, and now Liu Ming is in charge of almost all the affairs of Jin Yiwei.
Liu Ming alone is obviously too busy.
Qin Feng patted Liu Ming on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work."
Liu Ming was stunned.
This is the first time Qin Feng has shown concern for him since he became a Jin Yiwei.
Before this, Qin Feng had been guarding Liu Ming like a tiger and rarely gave Liu Ming a good look.
The reason why Liu Ming loyally follows Qin Feng is that he is dormant in Qin Feng's personality charm and knows that Qin Feng is a good master.
Secondly, it is because Liu Ming's household registration has already been moved to Beixi County, and now Liu Ming is also a part of Beixi County.
The most important point is that even if Qin Feng is on guard against Liu Ming, it is only because of Liu Ming's special nature. After all, he is a spy...
As long as Liu Ming retires, he can immediately live the same life as Mo Li, with leisurely clouds and wild cranes, no worries about food and clothing, and an extremely free and unrestrained life.
As one of the founders of Jinyiwei and the veteran who established Beixi County, even though Mo Li was directly "kicked" from the position of chief of Jinyiwei by Qin Feng, his current life is like a fairy!
This is the benefit of working for Qin Feng. You will never be jealous or retaliated by Qin Feng. The benefits after retirement are not comparable to those of the imperial officials.
The iron-blooded warrior who killed many people had a slightly sore nose because of Qin Feng's words.
Qin Feng noticed Liu Ming's strange behavior and was not polite. He directly said: "I'm so touched!"
"What's so impressive? If you exceed your authority, I will still deal with you without any ambiguity."
Liu Ming forced back his tears and squeezed out a smile: "Does the prince not know who I am?"
"I don't have any big ambitions. My only goal is to be like my master and race the gods leisurely after retirement."
Qin Feng didn't say anything, but in his heart, he actually hoped that after his retirement, the brothers could get together and be at ease.
After all, one day, Qin Feng will retreat to the second line and give up power gloriously.
However, before abdicating, Qin Feng must find a strong successor. At least for now, it seems that there is no suitable candidate.
Not even Li Zhang, the most hard-working and nominally second-in-command of Beixi County!
In the early morning of the next day, at dawn, five hundred people from Beixi, under the covert protection of Jin Yiwei, set out on their way back to their hometown to visit their relatives.
Qin Feng is not idle either. As more and more troops come to the front line, the pressure on logistics will begin to become apparent.
Forging iron requires one's own strength. If you want to destroy the southern border, you must first have an impregnable logistics system.
